Book Description:

New wave emerged at the turn of the 1980s as a pop music movement cast in the image of punk rock's sneering demeanor, yet rendered more accessible and sophisticated. Artists such as the Cars, Devo, the Talking Heads, and the Human League broke with the staid rock cliches of the 1970s and pointed the way to a more modern style.
